Why March? I live in London and will be getting the Caledonian sleeper train up to inverness. Tickets are drastically cheaper in March than April. And im also hoping I might get to catch a glimpse of the northern lights on the orkney islands. Ive already decided to delay the trip, so I could put some extra money aside for a more expensive ticket. Maybe someone with experience of the region can give me some advice?
Haha yeah definitely looking at switching season now! I was going to take a bivi tent and wrap up, but all this talk of snow and floods is making me wonder if I should just allow myself an easier time!
